Description
The collective dismissal procedure at the industrial services company Castiglia ended on October 8, 2019 and 201 workers will receive the dismissal letters.
The company Castiglia operated as a contractor in the Taranto site of the steel company Arcelor Mittal providing industrial cleaning services. The decision to dismiss 201 workers is connected to the fact that Arcelor Mittal assigned the contract to other five companies and, despite the several meetings held also by regional public institutions, no agreement was found on the re-hiring of the workers by the new contractors.
The 201 dismissed workers will receive unemployment benefits for two years.
